Fishbuster Charters' Captain Dave Hanson reported, "A few days of rough seas kept me off the water this week, but also allowed me to do yearly maintenance on the boat. Matthew and Julie Stanford, along with their son, Luke, and Lukeís grandparents, Cornelia and Dan Vellenga, fished 25 miles offshore with me on Friday morning, 7/27, using cut-bait and squid. The family boxed twenty keeper lane snapper to 14 inches, and released twenty-five red grouper shorts, one of which was just an eighth of an inch short of keeper size."
